I thought I,d make friends and get a social circle. But no. I,m a cashier at a gas station. How do you people deal with loniliness? There isn,t much volunteering out in the country where I live. I just don,t know what to do to break this repetitive cycle of watching youtube videos and being lonely.
Making a schedule is good, but I don,t do much all day. Any tips? What did u do to get more social?
I joining a meet up group or 2 as soon as I feel more up for it.
I went to a DND store and joined a game of DND every other Saturday
Wish I had some good advice for you, but I’m in the same boat. Although I’m content being alone.
But if you want to make friends and be social, you’re gonna have to put yourself out there. It takes some work. Good luck, I hope you find what you’re looking for
Having a job is good, at least you get to interact a little with people.
I avoid most people because i don’t like the way they treat me and or don’t think they are sincere and genuine.
But I recently met the most beautiful man simply by saying Gday to him.
He was drunk as it was a holiday and he asked if I want to play two up with him so I gave him my number although I was sober.
God blessed me with putting him in my life.
A real good man.
We live about ten hours drive from each other but we are facebook friends.
I’m deeply attracted to him and interested but he wants to travel the world and i can’t and we li d far away.
I think we have something special though.
Most people I’m uncomfortable with.
I was comfortable with my x and graceful vet lady met yesterday is real deal too.
I am alone with my dog all the time kinda isolating.
Most people stopped saying g’day to me I think because my enemies spread false rumours and lies and incited hate on me.
But this morning a woman walking by said g’day thankfully.means a lot.specially as people been hostile n yucky vibes .
Take up a sport or team sport?
I’m not comfortable with that.
Last time at gym I felt excluded and treated badly.
So chose to exercise alone.
Meetup?
I live too far away for meetup.unfortunately.
Apparently bumble has a friend finder on it you could try.
Maybe get a headset and play online games?
yeah its just a little scar putting youself out there
I go to my job to work, not socialize. I do volunteer work and join hobby clubs to socialize. I avoid co-workers who want to socialize as they get in the way of career advancement - they are toxic in the workplace.
I feel lonely as well most of the time. Though I have work I feel like I am bit off track. So to counter that I a trying to educate myself and dig as much as I can to find the coping skills and try to socialize whenever I can. No matter how much I suck and how much I fail I keep trying, that is what I am satisfied with.
I thought about joining a DnD group, but I feel like I might not be creative enough or put on the spot too much. How is it?
I do not do much socializing either. Work is not really fun, but I do exchange ideeas with coworkers from time to time. From time to time, I talk to old friends on the phone.
I wish there was more socializing in my life, but I also admit I am not up to it anymore so it intrest me less and less.
What’s your age range @hiimphil ?
@cathart1c you need to create a character but there are rules that help you and when it comes to actions you go in an order so it’s not to bad
to me, loneliness is a heavy wet towel slowly suffocating me. If I could get a pet I would but my family’s place is too small and I’m afraid of crazy pet-related medical bills.
If you like youtube become a moderator on one of your favorite live streams.
Personally, I volunteer remotely for a small charity, it helps a little.
Also joining some clubs may help a bit. Like sports, books, drama, etc… or go out with friends often to some place to avoid boredom and be engaged I guess.
